When Sons Forgot Their Father (Paperback)

Paperback. When Sons Forgot Their Father**Genesis 6 is one of the most mysterious and hotly debated passages in the Bible. For generations, readers have wondered: Who were the "sons of God"? Fallen angels invading human history? Or something far more human - and far more relevant?In When Sons Forgot Their Father, Mike takes readers on a journey back to the beginning, showing that the opening chapters of Genesis form a single, breathtaking story about identity, desire, violence, and the God who grieves when His children forget Him. Rather than isolating Genesis 6 as a myth to decode, this book places it back into the sweeping narrative of Genesis 1-6 - where its meaning becomes unmistakably clear.With pastoral warmth and narrative-theological insight, Mike demonstrates that the so-called "angelic interpretation" only appears convincing when Genesis 6 is removed from its context. But once the story is allowed to speak for itself, a richer, more coherent picture emerges: the "sons of God" were not angels at all, but humans - covenant bearers - who abandoned their identity and joined the world in its descent into corruption.This book offers: a fresh, compelling reading of Genesis 6 rooted in the flow of Genesis 1-11a careful, honest look at Jude, 2 Peter, and the Sodom account - without forcing them onto the texta narrative-theological case for why the human interpretation is not only more logical, but more beautifula vision of identity and faithfulness that speaks directly to our world todaya reading of the Flood story that restores its moral clarity and gospel resonanceWhen Sons Forgot Their Father is for pastors, teachers, students, and everyday readers who want to understand the Bible on its own terms - and who long to see how the ancient story of Genesis still speaks with power, relevance, and hope.If you've ever wondered what really happened before the Flood - and why it matters - this book will open your eyes to a story far more human, far more tragic, and far more redemptive than you ever imagined.
